The smart way digital nomads get paid in 50+ countries in 2025 — legally, efficiently, and with full control. |
In 2025, working from anywhere is easy — getting paid legally and efficiently across borders? That’s the hard part.
But today’s smart digital nomads are using global tools that let them invoice, receive payments, and manage taxes in over 50 countries — all from a laptop.
Step 1: Set Up a Location-Independent Business
First, you’ll need a remote-first business entity. Platforms like StartGlobal let you launch a U.S. LLC from abroad — no residency or SSN required.
Step 2: Get Paid Legally (and Fast)
Use Deel to onboard international clients and get paid in local currency, USD, or crypto — with built-in compliance. Deel handles contracts, taxes, and instant withdrawals in over 150 countries.
Step 3: Use Borderless Banking
Want to receive money globally and hold multiple currencies? Wise lets you open a global business account with local routing numbers — USD, EUR, GBP, and more — even if you're living in Bali.
Step 4: Hire Freelancers or Scale Yourself
Need help? Hire remote assistants, designers, or marketers from Fiverr — all while keeping your operations lean and location-free.
